Windows Installer problem in iTunes

Hello,
I'm got the following error message when I tried to operate the iTunes on my laptop: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" .  I can not remove the iTunes in order to reinstall it and I didn't find as well the Windows Installer Cleanup utility.  Any idea how to resolve this problem?

Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • WINDOWS INSTALLER PROBLEM WITH DESKTOP MANAGER

    Please help!! I am a user of the Blackberry Desk Top Manager, running under Windows XP Service Pack 4.5. I recently downloaded the latest version of Desk Top Manager and I am getting the following error: - Flashing intermittently, whilst running the newly downloaded Desktop Manager - "Windows Installer Preparing to Install". I have removed the programme, downloaded it again from Blackberry's website and run my Windows updates to no available. I have now been advised that I must format my entire computer and reload Windows, which seems to be a rather onerous solution, as I have been using Blackberry's Synchronisation Programme for over a year successfully before this took place. I should appreciate it if you would let me know how this problem on my IBM Think Pad Laptop can be cured.

    Hi all..
    I am having the same problem with desktop software 6, but my problem is more like this..
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB19300
    The Windows Installer pop-up during installation and cannot continue, it seems that windows installer 4.5 is the cause, but I cannot uninstall windows installer 4.5 because many of my programs were using this..
    In this knowledge base solution it says to run BlackBerry Desktop Software.msi, but on BlackBerry Desktop Software 6, it need to run from setup.exe and cannot continue.. so I cannot install desktop software 6 on my computer, but I am able to install older version desktop software ie. version 4.2 to version 5.
    I think that I am gonna reply here instead of making new thread about windows installer 4.5 and Desktop Software 6, please move if I did wrong.
    PS. Bifocals..
    The link you provided is missing. Or it just back to BlackBerry Technical Solution Center page and I tried searching the KB13781 with no success.
    Please if there is other link that may be good for my problem.
    Thank you very much.
    Hi ihalimsujanto and welcome to the forums!
    My first concern is that you do have a version of desktop manager that you can maintain your device and PIM data with, do you?
    Please post back with as much detail as possible regarding your hardware and software setup.
    Also post what steps you have taken to resolve the issue. The more detail we have the better we can help you. I'll reread KB 19300 and find what happened to my broken link.
    Thanks.

  • Itunes - windows installer problems

    I tried to update from ITunes 11 to 12 and got "Windows Installer Service cannot be accessed". So I removed ALL Apple software from my Windows 7 PC, did various recommended fixes from Microsoft, but still the same. Now I get exactly the same trying to reload ITunes 11! I have had this problem on previous updates, and deleting the various Apple software has always fixed it, but not this time. So very frustrated - anyone know how to fix this please??

    Hi Brendan
    tried that but didn't help. This is what fixed the problem:
    - go into command prompt mode (AKA Dos mode)
    - type in      sfc /scannow
    - let it run.
    This solves many Windows problems where files and settings have been lost or corrupted. In fact, Apple should add this to their articles on Windows problems with ITunes installation.
    Thanks

  • Cannot install iTunes - windows installer problem!

    I have spent two days trying to fix the registry and use a clean utility. Nothing works! I see that this is a fairly common issue that has been around for several years, but none of the fixes (including the msi utility that MS has now taken down) works. Some suggested that I just uninstall the windows installer utility, but I'm can see how to do that. I've tried stopping the service, but it doesn't work.  I am looking at my new iPhone which is a lovely paperweight.

    This did not work for me, but you might want to try.  I have both an iPhone and an iPad2.  I think that I am going to have to reformat my drive.

  • Windows installation problem with Bootcamp

    Since a few days I have a new iMac 21,5 (end 2013) Maverick latest version installed as I had on my "old iMac" I tried to instal Windows 8 or Windows 7.
    Use the bootcamp and set the right size for my windows part, and download the drivers all goes well. After the iMac reboot comes up with the setup from Windows
    ask the keyboard settings and than shows the partitions. Select partition 4:BOOTCAMP. Here starts the problem, I do not see the advance drive options, as also the "NEXT" button is not selectable. As I format the partion also "NEXT" button is not selectable. I am stuck here, please help :-)

    I got stuck with the same error and spent a long time trying to work this out. It turns out that the issue is your USB3 stick. I'm not sure how it gets so far into the installation, but it seems that the USB3 drivers aren't available to the Windows installer.
    Try again with a USB2-only drive and you should find that Windows will install fine.

    Have there been any reports of a faulty installer with Premier in the Boxed set? Photoshop installed so seamlessly it's odd that this is popping up.
    Thanks in advance!!

    Eitehr your Windows installer is damaged or you run without sufficient user privileges. Run Windows Update to repair the installer and make sure to run as admin. also turn off any security stuff temporarily.

  • Acrobat 7.1 update fails -- Windows Installer problem

    I am running Windows XP SP3.
    During the update to Acrobat 7.1, I first get a Windows message in a window labeled "Windows Intaller" that states "The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and that you can access it."
    Having no clue what this means, I stick my legal Windows XP CD in the drive but that is no help.
    This is followed by a message from the Adobe installer that it has failed because "Missing source media. (Error 1612)"
    Can anyone please suggest a fix?

  • Can't Install iTunes 10.6.3 Windows Vista Windows Installer Problem

    Basically, just before installation completes a popup of "There is a problem with this Windows InstWhat exactly would I be missing??? please help !aller package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run.".  I've read many threads that state that all I have to do is run a repair on the Apple Software Update(ASU) but my problem is that I've already uninstalled it. Now what comes to my mind is that, it wasn't a clean uninstall as I just uninstalled through Add & Remove.
    So I would preferably like to get an answer to the whole problem or if not what files are linked to the ASU that might cause this problem. Please help I've alot of things and I really hope there is another solution then to reformat my PC, I really don't wanna reformat my laptop just for iTunes and because I have an iPhone, I unfortunately, have to depend on having it installed.
    Back story (Why I do not have ASU):
    When I updated my iTunes and several other Apple software, I was unable to start itunes, kept getting a permissions issue. So I set all the permissions to my User Account (note that I am, from the start, using an admin account) but still errors kept popping up. Usually when an update doesn't work I just go through Add & Remove and uninstall all Apple programs before trying to reinstall iTunes and etc, which I did, Except this time...

    Download and save a full itunessetup.exe or itunessetup64.exe file(depends on your operating system).
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Use Winrar to unzip the file into a folder. Then right mouse click the file AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi from that folder to install.
    If you don't have winrar, you can go to this link to download a free trial version.

  • TS5376 is there a fix for iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows installation problem?

    I tried the fix in "TS5376: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open" but problem remains. We have the same issue on my dauther's PC (Windows 7 also). iTunes can't open and configure correctly.

    Hey MichelHebert,
    When you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, did you follow these steps below? This section contains information that might help your situation, as the order and manner which you uninstall has an effect on the outcome:
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended affects.
    from: Step 1 of Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Let us know if uninstalling those components in that order helped the situation.
    Take care,
    Delgadoh
